Company seat – according to the statutory definition, the seat of a legal person is the place where its managing body resides. However, shareholders may decide otherwise in the Articles of Association, choosing the seat freely. The choice of the seat is significant e.g. when it comes to convening general meetings that, as a rule, should take place at the company’s seat or for the purpose of specifying the court of competent jurisdiction for the company.
